in which

The invention also provides a process for the production of compounds of formula I, as defined above, characterised by

a. condensing one equivalent of a compound of formula II, ##SPC5##

in which

R₁ and n are as defined above, and

Hal signifies a chlorine or a bromine atom,

with one equivalent of a compound of formula III, ##EQU4## in which R₃ is as defined above, and

R₄ signifies a phenoxy radical or an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, alkoxy, phenyl or amino radical,

and with at least 3 equivalents of a compound of formula IV, ##EQU5## in which R₂ is as defined above, or b. condensing a compound of formula II, as defined above, with a compound of formula VII, ##EQU6## in which R₂ and R₃ are as defined above, and

x signifies a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom.

The condensation reaction of process (a) is preferably carried out in an inert organic solvent, for example, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, dioxane, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, benzene, toluene, xylene, nitrobenzene or the reaction may be carried out using a large excess of the compound of formula IV, as defined above, so that it acts as solvent. The reaction is suitably carried out at a temperature in the range of from 20° to 250°C, preferably from 50° to 200°C.

The condensation reaction of process (b) is suitably carried out in an inert organic solvent, preferably in aliphatic or cyclic ethers with a boiling point of at least 50°C, for example, glycol dimethyl- or diethylether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane. The reaction may be carried out at a temperature in the range of from 20° to 250°, preferably 50 to 200°C.

In the compounds of formula III, R₄ is preferably an alkoxy radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; an unsubstituted phenylamino radical; a phenylamino radical in which the phenyl nucleus is substituted by up to three substituents selected from the group consisting of methyl and methoxy groups, chlorine and bromine atoms; (C₁₋₂) alkylamino groups and (C₁₋₂) dialkylamino groups.

The compounds of formula II and IV, as defined above, are known or may be produced according to known methods.

The compounds of formula III, as defined above, may be produced by hydrolytically splitting off an acyl radical of formula R₄ --CO-- or R₄ '--CO-- from a compound of formula VI, ##EQU7## in which R₄ and R₃ are as defined above, and

R₄ ' has one of the significances of R₄,

which process forms part of the present invention.

The splitting off of the acyl radical of formula R₄ --CO-- or R₄ '--CO is conveniently effected in alkaline medium, preferably in the pH region of from 10 to 12 and in a polar solvent, for example, water; alcohols, such as ethanol, isopropanol, benzyl alcohol; glycols, such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol; amides, such as dimethyl formamide, dimethylacetamide, hexamethyl phosphorous triamide; or dimethyl sulphoxide. The reaction may be carried out at a temperature between room temperature and the boiling point of the reaction mixture, preferably between 60° and 150°C.

The compounds of formula VI, as defined above, may be produced by condensing a compound of formula V,

    R.sub.4 --CO--CH.sub.2 --CO--R.sub.4 '                     V

in which R₄ and R₄ ' are as defined above, with a compound of formula XI,

    R.sub.3 --Hal                                              XI

in which

R₃ is as defined above, and

Hal signifies a chlorine or bromine atom.

The reaction of the compounds of formula V with the compounds of formula XI may be effected in a slightly to strongly alkaline medium, e.g. at pH values up to 12. When the reaction is carried out in strongly alkaline medium, the splitting of the acyl group occurs simultaneously with the condensation reaction.

Suitable solvents for the condensation reaction of a compound of formula V with a compound of formula XI are water, dioxane or acetone, or mixtures of these solvents. The reaction may be carried out at a temperature of from 0° to 50°C. Alkali metal carbonates or bicarbonates may be added to bind the nascent hydrogen halide.

If a compound of formula XI, in which R₃ signifies a S-triazinyl or pyrimidyl radical substituted by at least one halogen atom is employed, compounds of formula III may be formed, in which at least one of the halogen atoms on the R₃ nucleus has been substituted by any other substituent mentioned above as being present on the R₃ nucleus. This nucleophilic substitution may be effected before the condensation of the compound of formula XI with a compound of formula V, simultaneously with the cleavage of the acyl group, or after the compound of formula III containing at least one halogen atom on the R₃ nucleus has been obtained. The replacement of the halogen atoms with hydroxy, alkoxy, phenoxy or unsubstituted or substituted amino groups may take place under the same condition as those described above for the cleavage of the R₄ --CO-- or R₄ '--CO-- group from the compound of formula VI, e.g. in strongly alkaline medium.

Compounds suitable for the introduction of hydroxy groups are, for example, alkali metal hydroxides, i.e. sodium, potassium or lithium hydroxide or alkaline earth metal oxides or hydroxides, i.e. magnesium oxide, calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide.

Compounds suitable for the introduction of alkoxy groups are, for example, alkali metal alcoholates, i.e. sodium or potassium alcoholate.

Similarly, phenoxy group may be introduced by using alkali metal phenolates, e.g. sodium or potassium phenolate.

Amino groups may be introduced by using the corresponding amines alone or in the presence of alkali metal carbonates, bicarbonates or hydroxides. If more than one halogen is to be substituted, the substitution may be effected stepwise, the first group being introduced at a temperature of about 40° to 50°C with subsequent raising of the temperature to about 80° to 100°C to introduce the second group.

Preferably, the introduction of such groups takes place simultaneously with the cleavage of the R₄ --CO-- or R₄ '--CO-- group on the compound of formula VI containing halogen on the R₃ nucleus, to yield a compound of formula III on which the halogen on the R₃ nucleus has been substituted, such compounds of formula III may be in the form of alkali metal compounds.

To replace the halogen atoms on the R₃ nucleus with alkyl radicals, the halogen triazinyl or halogen pyrimidyl compounds are reacted with organo-metallic compounds, e.g. Grignard Reagents. The reaction is carried out in an anhydrous medium. Suitable solvents are, for example, benzene, toluene or xylene. The reaction temperature is gradually raised from room temperature to about 80°C with stirring.

The compounds of formula VII, as defined above, may be formed in the reaction mixture in situ by the addition of a compound of formula VIII, ##EQU8## in which R₃ is as defined above, and

X signifies a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom,

to a compound of formula IX, ##EQU9## in which R₂ is as defined above, or, by reacting a compound of formula IX, as defined above, with a compound of formula X,

    R.sub.3 --CH.sub.3                                         X

in which R₃ is as defined above.

In both reactions it is advisable to employ at least triple excess of the compound of formula IX or to employ the compound of the formula IX exclusively as solvent. The reactions are suitably carried out at a temperature in the range of from 20° to 250°C, preferably from 50° to 200°C.

The invention still further provides compounds of formula III',
